I'm bacck...

On a beach somewhere in Batam..

Hey folks! Seems like ages since I last posted, just came back from the OCIP trip to Batam to help the kids at an orphanage over there. Painting of walls and building pillars. Whoa, when I was there I seriously felt like a "Ban-gala" worker here in S'pore. It was when we sat down for lunch on a wet day, all covered with filth and dirt from transporting the sand and stones to make cement from street level to the rooftop. There we were opening our packets of sub-standard food (wasn't atrocious but it could be better), famished from the hard labor, rampaging through our food like scavengers, well in clothes and with a spoon in hand, there I thought, this must be the feeling of how the blue collared felt at work. Almost makes me feel empathy for them, thank god I'm not doing this for a living. Well, my cousin had to work at an restaurant to inspire her to study hard and get to the top, that worked for her, now being successful and living in a mansion. Perhaps that was my moment to inspire me to study harder, a push on the back to strive on.

Some learn to care more, bond better or feel how lucky we are, I on the other hand have that in mind.

Though I must say Batam wasn't all that bad, I believe you must have thought i hated that crap hole, yes the conditions are terrible, but the stay wasn't all bad. Had fun here and there and some illegal moments, haha. You know what i mean. And if you're thinking i laid a hooker there, NO! There are others. Oh ya, think I got darker after the trip, ooo yea!

Oh yeah, just got my hands on an itouch!!! Whee!!! Haha, so gonna play with it, finally! Haha.
